Watch all the fireworks as Elliott Gould and Bill Cosby star in this delightfully devilish adventure. When ruthless landlord Max Devlin (Gould) is struck by a bus, he meets a diabolical "soul manager" with an offer he can't refuse. Max can return to life on earth if he can convince three innocent people to sign their souls over to the devil within two months. In a riotous race against time, all his targets have other ideas. Featuring the music of Marvin Hamlisch, and talented songstress Julie Budd, this is a magical, romantic comedy the whole family will enjoy.

Joe Pollack

Given the arrant simplicity of the story and its transparent obviousness from start to finish, all interest wanes rapidly, and though Cosby tries hard to create something out of nothing, he falls short just the way the film does.

TV Guide

Despite an encouraging start, the film degenerates into typical Disney sentimentality.

Time Out

The script has its moments, especially when Cosby is around as the Devil's aide, but the film finally subsides in a welter of structural flaws and heartwarming sentiment.
